Course Description

Turn an idea into a novel, a novel into a work of art, and a work of art into multiple streams of income.

The Scribe Academy celebrates the power of the written word and empowers both new and veteran fiction authors to tackle the novel creation process in an intelligent, business-savy way.

Writing a book doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need to spend years and years revising and revisiting the same manuscript. And you most certainly don't need to burn precious days or weeks wondering what to do with your book after you've finished it.

I know because I've been where you are.

I spent six years editing, rewriting, and stressing over my first novel before I reached a place where I was ready to publish. Using the mistakes, lessons, and experience as a guide, I was able to write my second book in less than six months as opposed to over six years. Now, I'm in the process of self-publishing them both.

Allow this affordable, self-paced course to be your guide and save you both time and energy as you prepare to write your first or next novel.

Courses are non-refundable.
